2 seperate internet connections - wifi management
I have 2 internet lines (VDSL).
The first one with a draytek 2860 router (with dual wan, vpn, vlan, load balancing capabilities). I want to use this line only for a business lan (with sql server and 2 http servers).
The second one uses a more plain ZTE speedport router. I want to use this line for creating a hotspot (with an ubiquity access point)
My problem is that i want to have access to the 2nd network from the 1st, so that i can manage it and apply settings.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Connect one of the wan links on your Draytek router to a switch port on your second network. The wan link on your router should have an IP address from your second network.

Andy Bartkiewicz: That way i won't be able to have a different subnet for the wlan.
I'm currently trying another setup. I connected the ΖΤΕ to Drayter through a LAN port.
I assigned 192.168.1.0/24 to one router and 192.168.2.0/24 vlan to the other.
For security reasons, i'll allow communication between the 2 vlan's only when needed and disable it when not needed.
masnrock: I only need one wireless lan as a hotspot and a wired only lan for business purposes.

By using bridge mode, would i be able to have different NAT settings for the business LAN and guest wifi?
Yes, you should be able to have the two on the Draytek without issue.
Answered with two approaches that would have the author in right direction. There might be questions for assistance in actually setting up later, but solutions have been provided.

I have switches with vlan capability.
Also Draytek can assign a different vlan for each of its ports.
Should i connect the zte to a vlan port of the Draytek?
Then assign a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet to Draytek for example and a 192.168.2.0/24 for the ZTE.
Should i disable the dhcp on the second router?
